In this paper we propose a new edge detector based on anisotropic linear filtering, local maximization and gamma correction. The novelty of this approach resides in the mixing of ideas coming both from directional recursive linear filtering and gamma correction. A peculiarity of our anisotropic edge detector is that it is based on the use of two elongated and oriented filters in two different d...

A real-time FPGA-based algorithm has been developed and tested to discriminate pulse-shapes, identify beta-gamma coincidence events and collect energy spectra from xenon radioisotopes using a phoswich detector. The detector consists of a thin plastic scintillator (BC-400) to detect beta and conversion electrons, a CsI(Tl) crystal for measuring X-rays and gamma-rays, and a BGO crystal, which sur...

We describe here a method for the analysis of materials on a conveyor belt using the natural gamma spectra collected with a BGO (Bismuth Germanate) gamma ray detector. This detector collects gamma ray emissions from the Potassium (K), Uranium (U), and Thorium (Th) atoms in the materials. Based on these data, and using a Poisson model for the data generation, a statistical model is proposed and ...

The Gamma-Ray Integrated Detectors (GRID) are a space project to monitor the transient gamma-ray sky in multi-messenger astronomy era using multiple detectors on-board CubeSats. second GRID detector, GRID-02, was launched 2020. performance of including energy response, effective area, angular and temperature-bias dependence, is calibrated laboratory presented here. These measurements compared w...

The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty establishes a network of monitoring stations to detect radioactive xenon in the atmosphere from nuclear weapons testing. One such monitoring system is the Automated Radioxenon Sampler/Analyzer (ARSA) developed at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, which uses a complex arrangement of separate beta and gamma detectors to detect beta-gamma coincidences...

In this work, we present experimental results of a novel prompt gamma-ray detector for proton beam range verification. The detection system features an actively shielded cerium-doped lanthanum(III) bromide scintillator, coupled to a digital data acquisition system. The acquisition was synchronized to the cyclotron radio frequency to separate the prompt gamma-ray signals from the later-arriving ...

A wide field of view, high duty factor TeV gamma-ray observatory is essential for studying TeV astrophysical sources, because most of these sources are either highly variable or are extended. Milagro is such a TeV detector and has performed the deepest survey of the Northern Hemisphere sky at TeV energies. In addition to detecting the Crab Nebula and Mrk 421, which are known TeV sources, Milagr...

Analysis of acquired nuclear detector gamma-ray signals for recognition of present radioisotopic signatures is crucial to national security and security applications. Identification algorithms must be accurate and rapid. Artificial intelligence is a scientific field with a variety of tools suitable to implement automated processing of nuclear signals. The use of low resolution portable detector...
